Compare content of two XML files
I need to compare a REST XML response with a 'gold standard' response (one that we have already verified is correct). The problem is, sometimes the REST response comes back and it is logically correct, but the order of attributes and elements is different than what is in the 'gold standard' file. For example: 'Gold Standard': REST Response: Notice how the attributes in and are in different order. The response is correct, but obviously doesn't match the 'gold standard'. Does anyone know how I would be able to compare these two files and verify they match, even though the order of attributes and elements may be different between the two? Is there a module I should be using for this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
comparing XML files to eachother
I need to compare one xml document to another to see if the content matches. Unfortunately, the formatting (spacing) and order of elements may change between files from run to run. I have looked into xml dom minidom but can't seem to find how to accomplish this. Does anyone know how I can do a compare between two XML documents using the STL? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
httplib headers
Using the following code I am trying to pass a header to my POST request.
(Note: urls masked)
file = sys.argv[0]
url = sys.argv[1]
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("XX.XXX.XX.XXX",)
headers = {'content-type':'application/xml'}
conn.request("POST",url,file,headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
head = response.getheaders()
status = response.status
response = response.read()
print response, status, head
When I run this script and view the headers that get printed the following
displays:
[('content-length', '691'), ('proxy-connection', 'Keep-Alive'),
('connection', 'Keep-Alive'), ('pragma', 'no-cache'), ('cache-control',
'no-cache'), ('content-type', 'text/html; charset=utf-8')]
Why isn't my content-type header using the value I pass in from headers?

Re: Increment Variable Name
Basically what I am trying to do is pass each value from a list to the following line of code (where XXX is where I need to pass each value of the list tests = easygui.multchoicebox(message="Pick the test(s) you would like to run from the list below." , title="Validation Tests" ,choices=[XXX]) If i were to manually pass values to this line it would appear like : tests = easygui.multchoicebox(message="Pick the test(s) you would like to run from the list below." , title="Validation Tests" ,choices=["Test 1","Test 2", "Test 3"]) When I actually pass the list to the line of code, it works, however it doesn't really split the list by element. The desired output of this line of code would be a GUi that included a list consisting of each element from the passed list. Right now I can only get it to consist of a single element that contains every part of the list. Does this make sense?-- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Increment Variable Name
This is probably really trivial but I'm stumped :-( Does anyone know how to increment a variable name?

What I want to do is to compile/bundle/prepare/whatever_term a simple Python script for deployment on a Windows machine. Installing Python itself on that machine, is not an option.

Re: Automate Mozilla Firefox
want to take a text file (which has a list of urls) and have my script go through them 1 by one using Firefox.
So for instance, if the first two urls in my list were:
www.google.com
www.amazon.com
I would want to spawn firefox and load www.google.com. Once google loads, I would like to kill Firefox and restart it, this time with
www.amazon.com loaded. I am basically running a stress test on a browser based product.
I have been able to do this in IE with no problems (Calling IE's COM object).I also have used the PAMIE module without a problem in IE. The problem is Firefox uses XPCOM and I have never worked with XPCOM, and thus havent worked with PyXPCOM before. Any insight will help.
FYI: I did try writing a script which loads firefox from the command line and navigates to a site, but once I try to kill Firefox and move to the next url nothing happens:
import os
import time
file = open("C:\urls.txt")
for x in file:
firefox = "C:\progra~1\mozill~1\firefox.exe "
firefox = firefox + x
os.system(firefox)

Re: Regular Expressions
Pete,
Why do you have to use a regular _expression_?
I don't, I just though this was the easiest way.> "DcaVer"=dword:0640Is all your other input pretty much identical in form? Specifically,the number of interest is the last thing on the line, and always
preceded by a colon?
The other information is pretty much identical in form, yes. Exactally, all I am interested in is the number following the colon.
> What I need to do with that string is trim down " "DcaVer"=dword:" and> convert the remaining number from hex to dec.What does "trim down" mean? Do you need something out of the string, or
are you just discarding/ignoring it?
What I meant was I want to discard the "DcaVer"=dword: . All I am interested in is searching for "DcaVer, finding it, and then taking the numerical value found after the colon.
s = '"DcaVer"=dword:0640'value = int(s.split(':')[-1], 16)(In other words, split on colons, take the last field and, treating itas a hex value, convert to an integer.)
The only problem with this is DcaVer's value is not always going to be the same, so I need to search specially for DcaVer and then after finding it get the numerical value associated with it.
Thanks

I have been trying to figure this out for a while..I am fairly new so please any help would be greatly appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
String Matching
Hello,
I am trying to write a script that takes strings from a text file and searches to see if they are present in another text file...here is the code:
import osimport re
search = open("c:\python24\scripts\pii\expected_rules_results.txt")
def find(x): file = open("c:\python24\scripts\pii\dave.txt") regexp = re.compile(x) for line in file.readlines(): if regexp.search(line): print "Found", x break
file.close()
for x in search: find(x)search.close()
Unfortunately the strings I will be searching for contain numerous "*" that cause an error. For example, when try to search for:
http://www.widget.com/personal_firewall.csp/?pin={6}
I get the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python24\scripts\PII\search find(x) File "C:\Python24\scripts\PII\search regexp = re.compile(x) File "C:\Python24\lib\sre.py", line
return _compile(pattern, flags) File "C:\Python24\lib\sre.py", line raise error, v # invalid expressiosre_constants.error: multiple repeat
Anyone know how to get around this?

Spawn/Kill Process
I need to write a script that starts an exe and then continues throughthe script. I am able to start the exe file but my script doesn'tcontinue because the process I start runs in the background of Windows(as it is supposed to). I have tried using both os.system and os.popento get around this but still no luck. It seems as if Python does notmove to the next line of code UNTIL the program spawned completes(which this one never will as it is supposed to continuously run in the background). Does anyone know of a way around this so I can spawnthe program and continue through my script? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Popen
I am trying to write a script that starts a window process and then continues on to do other testing, but have encountered a little problem. When I start the exe (process to run) I cannot move on past that point in my script. Once started, the process is supposed to run in the background continuously and this is the reason my script stalls after starting the process. I have tried to initiate the process using os.system and os.popen and both run into the same problem. Is there a work around for this? Thanks, Dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Clearing IE history
Hello I am trying to automate the clearing of IE history using python but keep running into problems. I cannot seem to find a good resource online about this, and I can't find an object in InternetExplorer's object module to point me in the right direction. I would rather not have to deal with deleting a bunch of registry values and keys or paths to do this, as this script will be run on numerous machines. Anyone have any ideas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Excel Object Model
Hello,
I am trying to automate Excel and I cant seem to find out much relating to it's object model (in relation to Python)..seems as if its mostly covered by C and VB. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am able to open excel, add information to cells, and then save and close the book opened. I was looking to get into formatting of cells, formulas, etc.
Below is the code i have now...any responces would help.
import PAMimport timefrom win32com.client import Dispatch #this is needed to open an Excel fileexecfile('c:\\Python24\\scripts\\PAM.py')f = open('c:\python24\scripts\urls.txt','r') #opens list of urls to be tested
xlApp = Dispatch("Excel.Application")xlApp.Visible = 0xlApp.Workbooks.Add()Row = 1
for x in f: #run this for every url in txt file. ie = IE_Invoke(x) starttime = time.clock() #get timestamp at IE startup wait(ie) #wait for IE to completetly load page stoptime = time.clock()#get timestamp at IE completion
elapsed = stoptime-starttime #calculate the runtime ie.QUIT() xlApp.ActiveSheet.Cells(Row,1).Value = x xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(Row,2).Value = elapsed Row = Row+1
xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.SaveAs('c:\\test_results\dave.xls') #save results to excel bookxlApp.Quit()

PAMIE syntax
Hi everyone, I am trying to automate Internet Explorer and am trying to use the PAMIE module for Python2.4. So far I have been unable to find any documentation online which provides syntax for using thie module. For instance, does anyone know how to use PAMIE to close a browser instance?
